@bsavoldi.bsky.social taking us back in time at #GITT2025 ⌚⏳ focusing on the first discussions of gender bias in language technology as a socio-technical issue. No, the problem hasn't been fixed yet. But what has happened?

Meta introduced Llama 4 models and added this section near the very bottom of the announcement 😬
“[LLMs] historically have leaned left when it comes to debated political and social topics.”

My main take away of the Deepseek paper is not scientific but organizational: we need an European industrial plan in AI right now. No safety summit, no peppered compute grants, no funding processes that take two years.

Realising my way of writing is akin to Penn and Teller's approach to magic; "Magic is just someone spending more time on something than anyone else might reasonably expect."
My unique advantage / fatal flaw is sinking absurd hours into researching & writing things no one else would ever write about

Claude (an LLM) is teaching me photography! I upload a photo and it talks to me about leading lines, natural framing, atmospheric lighting, gives useful scores and suggests practical improvements! As a poorly-motivated novice, there is no way I would ever have learned this stuff without AI.

Every time I read "deadjectival", I can't help but break it down into "dead" and "jectival"… This is where you'd need a hyphen.
(actually, I'm in favour of pronouncing it /ˌdɛdʒɪkˈtaɪvəl/ and even shortening it to 💀jectival)

There are a lot of discussion on if "scaling is done," with stories from the Information saying that the latest GPT models aren't showing what OpenAI wanted while Sam Altman still parades around saying AGI is near. I wanted to explain why both of these can be true.
